Orion (The Hunter)

Auctioneers

Hansen gets out of the car, followed by Reina and Gabriel. Reina walked over to Hansen then whispered softly.

" Can I hold your hand ?"

Hansen turned his head to look at Reina for a moment and nodded briefly. The answer made Reina smile with blushing cheeks. Embarrassed but willing, Reina took Hansen by the hand before they walked together into the venue where the auction was held.

Gabriel who was standing at the back without a partner immediately clucked in annoyance. At least at times like Hansen and Reina don't forget it because they were the three of them.

" Mister, can you please show me the invitation ?" ask a guard.

Reina took out three invitations from the bag and gave them to the guard.

" Please enter master and miss. "the guard opens the door behind him.

" Thank you." Reina smiled kindly at the guard and went inside with Hansen and Gabriel walking behind her.

Hansen saw the atmosphere of the auction ceremony. In his heart he was amazed at how luxurious the event held tonight was just for auction.

" It looks like a wedding, doesn't it ?" Gabriel whispered softly beside Hansen.

" Yes, it's good that we sit down quickly now." Hansen looked around looking for something. After finding what he was looking for Hansen smiled faintly. His eyes implied something behind the mask that currently covered half of his face.

" Let's sit there ?" Reina pointed to a seat near the stage where it was next to a table that had occupied six strangers in slightly conspicuous clothes.

Gabriel looked at the direction of Reina. His forehead was slightly wrinkled looking at the table. But that was not what made her frown, rather the table next to the table that Reina was referring to. " Are you sure we're gonna sit next to the guy in the showy dress ?"

" How else, that's the only table left now" replied Reina.

" But you don't see people in flashy clothes next to that table?" Gabriel asked back. Honestly, he was a little reluctant to sit there.

" Don't ask too many questions. This is not your place Riel can choose a seat as you please. So let's get there quick."

" All right." Gabriel spoke weakly and was forced to walk towards the table. Followed by Reina who walked while holding Hansen's hand behind her.

Unbeknownst to Gabriel and Reina. Hansen looked at the person in the striking clothes who was now smiling at him. Hansen smiled faintly and looked back to the front. Upon reaching the table they were heading to, Hansen took a quiet seat as if nothing had happened before.

" Good night ladies and gentlemen..."

Hansen saw a man wearing a fox mask on the stage. Hansen knew who the man was. He was the one who owned this auction place. Hansen understood why the man chose to be his own host instead of sitting still as usual. Hansen turned to glance at the table next to him where the person dressed in striking clothes was.

One of them winked one eye at him accompanied by a sneaky sneer. Hansen rolled his lazy eyes before returning to stare at the stage.

" All right, let's start the show. The first thing." the man on the stage opened the black cloth on the table.

" This is the Flower heart, a rare plant that only lives under the western iceberg."

... *****...

" This flower is worth fifty million" said the man on the stage.

" Fifty-five million !"

" One hundred million !"

Hansen snorted annoyedly to see many people fighting over the flower at a price that was quite expensive when it was only for one stalk only. Surely after this Mintaka and Bellatrix laughed happily for earning a lot of money.

" Five hundred million !"

" Is there another master ?" the man on top of the pitcher waited for a few seconds to see who could bid again.

" Nothing ? Well, congratulations to you on table number 9. Please complete the account backstage. Next !" connect the man and then open the cloth on the next table.

Hansen closed his mouth and yawned. It turns out that following the auction is boring. Too much talk and also scatter money only for items that he thinks are not important.

" Are you bored ?"

Hansen nodded his head. Reina smiled then clasped Hansen's palm.

" What are you looking for here ?" Hansen asked back while playing Reina's flickering fingers that looked small in her hands.

" Jewelry made of blue pearls. I want to see it and if I can I'll buy it."

Hansen stared at Reina's beautiful bead. " Do you like jewelry ?"

" Yes, I like it a lot."

" But I can't give it to you." Hansen said softly.

Reina almost shouted excitedly at how adorable Hansen was right now. The man looked lethargic for not being able to buy her the jewelry Reina wanted. Actually it didn't matter Hansen couldn't give her jewelry because Reina just wanted the man to be hers.

" I didn't approach you because I wanted to be given fancy jewelry. I approached you because I liked you since the first time we met at the restaurant back then. So please don't be like this 'cause you look so adorable." Reina pinched Hansen's pinched nose.

Hansen instantly leveled his face as Reina mentioned adorable. " I'm handsome not adorable" he said.

Reina laughed softly. " You sulked ?"

" No."

" Where is that with your flat face ?" Reina asked jahil.

Hansen removed Reina's fingers and changed his position looking forward. Gabriel who was silent watched became shaking his head. Hansen looks like a child, deserved they can never get along this long because Gabriel also realized that he also sometimes likes to forget his age has grown.

" Okay, you're handsome. Even handsome, especially if you smile." Reina clasped Hansen's hand on the table.

" I know, a lot of people have said that." Hansen said confidently.

Reina bit her inner cheek holding back the anxiety. It's very desirable that he pinched Hansen's cheek right now. Unlike Gabriel who even wanted to vomit saw that. His stomach contents instantly churned out wanting to see Hansen acting spoiled like that.

" Okay last ! This is what is special about our show !" the man on the stage clapped his hands twice.

A woman dressed in sexy clothes walked with a glass box covered in red cloth over to the man on stage.

" Well, here he is." the man on the stage pulled the red cloth that covered the glass box. " Jewelry is first time around the country. Real blue pearl jewelry !"

Everyone held their breaths as well as looked in admiration at the blue pearl jewelry that looked sparkling inside the glass box that was exposed to the light of the lamp.
